Elite Snipes 3542 Share Posted June 12, 2023 A FAILED KING During the election, after Bakir Ireheart’s abdication from Grand King, Agnar Grandaxe promised many things in his campaign, from military prosperity to giving benefits to Hefrumm. Agnar failed to deliver on these promises, failed to adhere to his message during his campaign, and failed to demonstrate authentic leadership as Grand King. FALSE PROMISESAgnars reign has been littered with many faults, including the promises made during his campaign. One instance of this is the failure to adhere to his promise of expanding the guilds and making trade a central focus. Agnar additionally promised prosperity of trade and involvement of the workers guild in the affairs of enriching the nation. Unfortunately, under Agnar’s reign, the guilds have not grown, inactive guild leaders have not been removed, and no economic prosperity has occurred. As Grand King, your responsibility is to the safety of your people, and to do so, one must ensure the military is strong and ready at a moment's notice. Agnar failed to reform the Obsidian Guard, allowing it to fall into stagnation, and failed to hold a singular training between Urguan and our allies. Agnar additionally has failed to follow up on his promise to give hefrumm a renewed constitution as well as an independent economy and bank. For many years now, under the leadership of Agnar Grandaxe, he has continually failed to properly respect and cooperate with Hefrumms community leaders, creating a sense of distrust between the Grand King and the people of Hefrumm. Finally, Agnar promised to amend the articles, to change the laws of Urguan, and provide a system more manageable for future Kings. This he failed to do. He not only failed to address the root problems within Urguan but also failed to talk to the clans to communicate and get their feedback about the rewrite in order to gain an idea of what Urguan truly wanted. The Weaknesses of Agnar Agnar, despite being removed from Grand Marshal and banished from his own clan, achieved the rank of Grand King. He promised to put his foot down when needed and to show strength when diplomacy failed. This is wise for a King, peace through strength. Though this was the complete opposite of how Agnar portrayed himself during his reign. Agnar, when faced with an attack on his city by the ferrymen, fled and hid inside his clan hall as his fellow dwarves fought and died to drive the raiders outside of the city. He neglected leading his kin into battle as his home was invaded, failed to inspire confidence in his troops, and finally failed to lead with courage as a King must surely do. Agnar, after the battle in the city had ended, was faced with another trial that could rectify his cowardice. Agnar, despite witnessing Thalgrim Goldhands defiance to ring the bell and to help the city in its defense, allowed Thalgrim to go free without consequence, leaving it to the Irehearts to do the Kings justice he himself did not have the courage to do. Agnar once again shows his lack of backbone through his lackluster response to the Vale leaving Urguan while it was being invaded by the Mori. Instead of seeking justice, rallying them back, or grudging them, Agnar had allowed the Vale to willfully betray Urguan in our time of need, allowing good dwed to die at the hands of the mori when we were under siege. After the fall of Kal’Darakaan, Agnar disappeared from the public eye, not setting up a camp of refuge for dwarves leaving Urguan. Additionally, Agnar remained unseen for many months as the dwarves fled the doom of Almaris. Instead of leading his people by creating a temporary hold on the island of Failor, he remained unseen until the discovery of Aevos. Despite all this, the people of Urguan can be forgiving, and surely the Grand King will settle us in a place where we are secure, well-defended, and in a magnificent city. Despite this, Agnar failed on the task that he could have been praised for in the coming centuries, a new city. Agnar, despite his many years of service in the legion and his decades of experience, designed and allowed the dwarves of Urguan to build and settle into a less-than-decent city. At the base of a rich and large mountain, the city of Kal'Kadrelaz is weak, a sore to the eye, and simply unprepared. For centuries, dwarves have prided themselves on building magnificent cities. Cities that would awe humans, elves, and orcs alike by the various statues, defenses, riches, and designs. Agnar neglected all of these aspects within the city, even going as far as making the tavern and throne room hard to find within the city. Grand King Agnar additionally failed to deliver proper stables for dwarves to breed cattle for food and farms for dwarves to grow wheat, potatoes, sugar cane, and much more. He additionally failed to deliver us an aviary with the means of properly communicating with the rest of the descendants and finally failed to provide an area for guilds and groups to place their halls to gather. Finally, Agnar "The Sleepy" Grandaxe, you have failed to maintain the people's trust, and you have now lost the people's faith. The Clans of Urguan made it clear they do not wish for you to remain King. Despite this, you wish to hold onto the crown a little longer. Agnar "The Sleepy" Grandaxe, you promised to step down within the next 4 stone days. We shall respect your wish and allow you to step down with dignity on the fourth day, but if you break your word and sit on the Obsidian Throne a day more than you swore, the Clans of Urguan shall promptly remove you from your role as Grand King of the Dwarves.The Grand Kingdom of Urguan needs a new King.

hotbox_monk 977 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Azhorgrond turned to face a council of ancient Dwedkin, many with eyes alit with flame. The progeny of The Great Hero had been sequestered in shadow and unseen for long enough. A hammer struck. Sparks flew and the wind blew violently through a stygian hall with none, but the writhing flames from within the black forge. The Gears of War had begun to turn beneath the earth of Urguan. The Watchers have come. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
